excel - Parsing variable names from cell content -
i learned from question can declare variables in excel naming cells. i'm wondering whether it'd possible parse text in cell call variable. name cell a1 "var1", , assign value 0.5
, , cell a2 "var2" value 0.75
. want following:
b c d 1 var1 10 =b1*c1 2 var2 10 =b2*c2 3 var2 10 =b3*c3 4 var2 10 =parse(b4)*c4 5 var1 10 =cell(b5)*c5 6 var1 10 =value(b6)*c6
that is, multiply values in column d
either var1
or var2
, read same row in column c
. rows 4, 5, , 6 show unsuccessful attempts of have in mind.
use indirect
function. in cell d6
formula want =indirect(b6)*c6
.
note in excel 2010 or later, can't use var1
cell name, because looks cell reference. have use _var1
or variable1
instead.
